Weird aspect of the AI era: more and more candidates are first learning about companies after they applied.

You read that right.

When the bots apply for you, job postings aren't the final stop on your job seeking journey, they're your first.

So if your company is hiring, the talent attraction process has been flipped on it's head.

Jeff Smith and James Hornick do a deep dive on how the talent attraction process has fundamentally changed in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 115: “Traditional Job Postings Are Dead.”

In this episode of The Balancing Act, host Sarah Sheridan sits down with Michelle Keefe, VP of HR at Bowes Professional, to talk about her inspiring journey from administrative roles to HR leadership. Michelle shares how she built her career by embracing challenges—including launching an office overseas with zero experience—and how she managed years of heavy business travel while raising her son.

She also discusses the evolution of workplace flexibility, the impact of strong leadership on work-life balance, and why companies must treat employees with trust and respect. Whether you're a working parent, an HR professional, or just looking for career inspiration, this episode is packed with valuable insights!
